I don’t mean to be rude or anything but I didn't plan on starting this week by joining a new cult. I’m sure you’re all very nice people but the email tag is super sketchy and invasive. Especially with what's been going on in the news lately. This stuff is totally the last thing California needs.

Only-

This is all very odd.

How do you even deal with this anyway? I mean If one of you says “I’m Athena Goddess of War” or whatever and the next person says, “Oy, I’m Irish and my brother is the God of War so put that in your pipe and smoke it!” who even wins? How can two people, deities, be of the same thing without causing a time ripple whenever they go near each other? Or do you cause a time ripple? Is that why you have to go all google on each other instead of talking in your face places?

Sorry. I guess it’s none of my business. You all seem like very interesting people. Uh. When I'm famous this will be a really good story to tell Conan.

From a forum post on redwoods.com, titled "Saw This On Wednesday" and accompanied by a blurry picture of something unnatural:

...saw this in the sky near Nickel Creek; apologies for the condition of......ya this looks shopped, i can tell by the pixels and from......yeah well your mom's shopped, lolol......no this is legit, I saw it too near Yurok and...

From the Klamath Telegraph, "Tragic Attack At Redwoods":

...state wildlife officials have declined to comment on exactly what type of creature... unconfirmed reports that the wounds on the victims' bodies do not match those made by a bear or mountain lion... visitors to the park are urged to take cautions and avoid...

From MSNBC's Counter-Fire, January 29th:

"...this giant creature in the Gulf of Mexico is quite clearly the product of unrestrained climate change, and--""Oh, that's such bull[censored]! You know who it is? It's those gods that came back-- everything's gone wrong since they showed up, and I'll bet you anything that they're behind this too!""Now, come on, there's no proof of that!""Oh yeah?! Look at the history books sometime; look at that Triton guy! Calling up all kinds of sea monsters-- this is just a page out of his playbook, and you're just too scared to admit it!""But what's the point? Why would he want..."

I think I know what you're missing. What you've been craving. A good antagonist! An excuse to fight and shed and spill blood. Need I find your oldest enemies again? Consider it done. Give them a few days before they choose to show themselves properly, but I'm sure you'll know what to do.

I am not paying exorbitant rates to get internet out here in the middle of nowhere just so I can get spam email. If replying to it is the only way to get them to stop, fine. If whoever is sending them is reading this, then kindly unsubscribe me and go fuck yourself.

Shadows have moved and struck in the dark. We were unable to catch them before it was too late. The ones responsible are known as the Sluagh. This was not our doing, and we will exact our punishments, of that you can be certain.

The realm beyond the Veil is not one we touch, however. The Courtly Queens must lead this chase. You do not need me to tell how vitally important is that we get them all back. Do not lose yourselves in the process.
